Emigrants' families feel left out

[thomas]

No home: Emigrants' families feel left out of society.

Japanese emigration to North America, South America and Oceania began immediately after the start of the Meiji Era in 1868. In 1885, the government, concerned about a lack of food and jobs, started offering land and loans for those who settle abroad as part of an official project. As a result, 780,000 Japanese moved overseas before World War II. After the end of the war, 260,000 others emigrated.

But the flood of Japanese emigrants gradually became a trickle. No one has left Japan under the project since fiscal 1993.

Instead, thousands of the emigrants' descendants have come to Japan, seeking a place in what they consider their true homeland.
